When booking this venue I was told that it was possible to have a slightly cheaper Bed and Breakfast if I took the option of an Evening Meal for the price of £18.
What actually happens is the Evening Meal costs you the full price which is added in on your Invoice.
This was a ploy to make sure your are eating at the venue and not elsewhere.
The Food and Service was good, the room o/k but I felt there was a desperation to keep you there to eat and to buy expensive drinks.
My wife and I would never return again as we like everything above board.
Huge smiles ,joviality and over friendliness can sometimes disguise an underlying misleading intent.

A huge THANK YOU! to the proprietors of the Lodge Hotel Tal-y-Bont and their staff for their excellent service and support during our stay and on the evening of our parents Ruby Wedding Anniversary party. The buffet provided was of excellent quality, good value for money and well presented. The function room was spacious and decorated beautifully. The cleanliness of the accommodation and hotel was of a very high standard and staff were always polite, cheerful and extremely helpful. The Lodge Hotel is located in a picturesque village with beautiful and un-spoilt scenery. We will definitely be recommending the Lodge Hotel to our friends. THANK YOU xx

We booked 2 nights at The Lodge to use as a base for the weekend and upon our arrival were greeted by very pleasant, friendly staff. The family room we had booked was very clean and nicely appointed with enough room for the four of us also far enough away from the main part of the hotel so that we were not disturbed by the wedding reception held on the Saturday night. The only issue we did have was with the sofa bed which my son said was very uncomfortable to sleep on due to the mattress being so thin and the towels provided were not much bigger than a hand towel. There is also an additional charge per child per night which considering I was already paying for a family room seemed a little strange but only a minor matter.
We had an evening meal in the restaurant which was adequate but maybe a little on the pricey side compared to other places in the area that we ate at over the weekend. Also it would have been nice to have had a buffet element to the breakfast for toast, juice etc. whilst waiting for the cooked breakfast to arrive but the quirky ordering process for breakfast was the source of great amusement to us and made up for this!!
Overall The Lodge suited our needs perfectly; the staff were very pleasant and helpful, the room was clean, warm and well appointed, and the breakfast set us up for the day ahead.

We were really well looked after at The Lodge - the rooms were very nice, staff incredibly friendly and still smiling first thing in the morning. We had dinner and breakfast there and the food (and wine!) was really good. We stayed in the cottage which was really well kitted out - could quite happily have stayed longer.
